Rapper Tim Dog, accused of faking his own death, confirmed dead

The news was revealed courtesy of Dateline NBC, who reported that the rapper passed away due to a seizure linked to diabetes.

Way back last May we reported that rapper Tim Dog was wanted for faking his own death. Today, news has come to light that he did actually pass away (via Dateline NBC). He passed away due to a seizure linked to his diabetes.

Tim Dog, born Timothy Blair, had been particularly difficult to locate because his death certificate was filed not where he was living, but in the county where he had died. He was treated at an Atlanta medical center before being transferred to a local hospice. NBC was able to locate his records after he had passed away as the medical center couldn't release those records.

Two years prior to his death, he plead guilty to defrading a Mississippi woman named Esther Pilgrim of $19,000 and was accused of faking his own death to get out of paying the money. He was sentenced to five years probation and had to pay back the money to Pilgrim.
